Chapter Index

    A living room that seems to have room for dozens of people to hold a party. There was a large home bar on one wall and a TV that seemed to be 100 inches tall on the opposite wall. There was even a sofa in the center of the living room that was large enough to be used as a bed, set one step lower.

    In addition, there is a deep and wide swimming pool visible in the yard connected to the floor-to-ceiling window.

    A mansion worth billions of won.

    It looked similar to Jackson Reed’s house in Hollywood, or in some ways more expensive.

    The house was now a complete mess.

    Pop… Pop…

    Hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of alcohol mixed with blood dripped down the home bar, and the TV and sofa were full of bullet marks from enemies.

    The floor-to-ceiling window connected to the yard shattered the moment I entered. Thanks to this, I felt like the indoor air filled with the smell of blood had been slightly ventilated.

    The place I devastated was the villa where the Red Scorpion boss was hiding.

    As can be seen from the fact that he was hiding, all of the Red Scorpion members gathered here, including the boss, had already been disposed of a long time ago.

    I stumbled inside the bar table, stepping on broken glass and shards of wood from broken furniture. Then, I chose one of the remaining liquor bottles that had not burst and took the cap off.

    Bppㅡ

    Jump, jump!

    “Kuh… It’s strong.”

    It was a strong whiskey that made you exclaim as soon as you drank it.

    ‘Is this the taste of expensive whiskey? It does smell like real wood. ‘Maybe it’s the oak scent?’

    Now I’m making more money than I used to, but I’m not that interested in alcohol, so I haven’t tried much high-end alcohol.

    Still, the bottle seemed luxurious and tasted pretty good, so I swept up all the good bottles in my inventory.

    A body that can no longer get drunk anyway. You can use it later to drink with other people or give it as a gift.

    This was the last shopping, as it had been a long time since all the gold bars, dollars, and other belongings in the villa were packed away.

    Seueueuu

    Tsk.

    ‘Anyway, the house that a criminal lives in is luxurious.’

    After putting away all the bottles, I looked around the messy living room and clicked my tongue.

    Red Scorpion.

    Unusually, they used the same name for a drug cartel operating externally and a secret society affiliated with other cartels. I think Red Scorpion may have put other cartels on their knees and formed a secret society, but I wasn’t curious about the details.

    The reason I personally came all the way here and took care of them was because they were the suppliers of the Jennings incident.

    A human trafficking organization that kidnapped and supplied victims from South America to the Virgin Islands. Those were the Red Scorpions. These guys are also one of the secret societies that use EnigmaChat, so I was thinking of sorting it out someday, but since I got involved with this incident, I ended up dealing with it myself.

    Only content related to adultery or weapons smuggling was posted on Enigma Chat, so it was only after robbing Noah Jennings that he was able to identify his identity.

    Their main focus was weapons and drug trafficking, but human trafficking also appears to have been a business item that guaranteed a tidy side income.

    ‘The comedy was that they thought they were doing business while keeping the line on such topics.’

    Was the boss’s name Lucas Martinez? I remembered the unfair expression he made.

    Kidnapping targets were regardless of race or age.

    From South American locals to foreign tourists. If something seemed marketable, their specialty was to take advantage of the gap and make it go missing.

    It seems that Mexico also has its own influence.

    Red Scorpion was waiting for me to attack his hideout.

    Since it was a criminal organization spanning South America, there was no way he would have seen the people on the list being murdered one by one and not know that he, the supplier, was also in danger.

    It seems like he was planning to call a bunch of gang members and hide behind a wall made of humans.

    Perhaps, when dealing with those on the list, they were trying to waste time after seeing that they only targeted targets without killing security personnel.

    It wasn’t a bad idea, but there was one thing he overlooked.

    The guys right here were all cartel members.

    If he had hired regular security like the others on the list, he would have watched slowly, waiting for an opportunity, and dealt with it when he was alone.

    However, he made the choice to gather his gang members in one place.

    Then there was no need to try to avoid the security personnel.

    They’re the same anyway, so it’s okay to deal with them all at once.

    The result was a hideout that became a mess.

    ‘Even if we deal with it like this, similar people will take our place.’

    -I guess so. This is because the government is barely doing its job. Unless the owner wipes out all the cartels in this town and takes over the government, it will be difficult to fix it. Local residents also found it more profitable to grow drugs than to grow other crops, so most farm facilities were developed in that direction.

    I didn’t want to worry about the normalization of South American countries.

    Even if Maria and I mobilized all our power to change the country, it was already almost impossible for the people living in areas outside the capital to imagine a life separate from the cartel.

    I would take action if they were indirectly involved in what I was doing, as was the case in this case, but it was too tiring to meddle in their fights among themselves.

    Maria continued.

    -Still, the head organization of the secret society has disappeared entirely, so things will be quiet for a while. Other cartels are also not without eyes and ears, so they will be concerned.

    ‘That would be nice. ‘What are the movements on the American side now?’

    Clap~

    I asked as I unlocked the door with the key and returned to my quarters.

    -The U.S. government has designated Cyphers as a terrorist group and seems to be trying to reveal their identity somehow. Even though the UK eventually confiscated the second prince’s royal status due to public criticism, I think they are gnashing their teeth on the inside. It would be a natural reaction since they could not prevent the royal family from being assassinated. Other countries, well, they are watching and criticizing Cyphers, but inside they are laughing at the two countries.

    Well, some of the guys I killed still had ties to the government and were protected by special forces.

    Politicians must feel a chill since they killed those guys so cleanly. If Cyphers had been targeting them, they wouldn’t have been safe either.

    He must have been anxious to catch me somehow.

    No matter how bad the people I killed were, they were private sanctions that did not go through due process… No, you can’t even call it a private sanction. There is no need to package it up because it is a terrorist attack. It is natural that the government cannot sit idly by and watch terrorists committed on their own soil.

    The opponent is an unidentified terrorist group whose nationality is unknown. Regardless of whether or not they can be caught, if such a group stays silent while killing its own people, it is not even a country.

    Although my standards for revenge and punishment have changed a lot after traveling to so many different places, modern society must operate on the basis of the law.

    It is natural for the government to criticize and seek me out.

    ‘What about public opinion?’

    -Most people like it. Some argue that the Cyphers are nothing more than a group of terrible terrorists and murderers, but it was an incident that caused so much social outrage. In fact, some people say Cyphers is better than the government because the names of former members of the National Assembly were on the list.

    ‘I didn’t really intend to make Cyphers feel like a group of dark heroes.’

    Initially, Cyphers was a signboard to advertise the security of Enigma Chat, but the public’s interest was stronger than expected.

    The United States is a country with a large land area and many people with diverse cultures living there, so there are a lot of conflicts. I think there was a news article I saw a while ago that said that only one or two out of ten people trust the government.

    Even if that was a bit exaggerated, it probably meant that there was a lot of dissatisfaction.

    -I think they are probably excited to see Cyphers take down bad guys coolly. If you just handle it according to the law, it is difficult to expect such results.

    ‘… It doesn’t matter. Thanks to this, the number of Enigma Chat users has increased explosively.’

    I didn’t mind being criticized, but I didn’t feel bad knowing that there were more people praising me.

    -More than that, a movie starring the master is coming out soon, so what should we do?

    ‘You should see that too. It’s been a while since I went to the theater.’

    While I’m busy traveling around the world with Key to Everywhere, the release of Steelheart is just around the corner. If I wanted, I could have seen the finished version in advance through Maria, but I still felt like that was too much for Nexus Studio, so I held back on purpose.

    ‘I told Olivia I would go see her in person, so maybe we can watch a movie together.’
